Supergirl/The Flash Crossover Coming Soon!

Do you remember when all of those rumours swirling around the TV blogosphere were speculating that there would be a Supergirl and The Flash crossover? Well, they were right.

Kara and Barry will unite and help save National City.

With their being so many crossovers in the DC TV universe, hopefully this won't confuse things or make it even harder to keep up with everything that is happening. Hopefully it will prove that the DC universe possibilities are endless and hopefully, it will work.

Trailer:

Supergirl and The Flash crossover will air March 28th on CBS and will air in the UK on Sky1 later on in the year.

Shadowhunters Pilot Episode Review

Based on the bestselling series by Cassandra Clare, this disappointing first episode doesn't live up to it's amazing paper counter-part.

There were high hopes for the Shadowhunters TV show and the 2013 film: The Mortal Instruments: The City of Bones, was better than the TV show - which is apparently saying something since the film was a flop at the cinemas (personally, I liked it).

The first few minutes of the pilot episode were like an action music video, introducing three of the main characters - Jace Wayland (Dominic Sherwood), Isabelle Lightwood (Emeraude Toubia) and Alec Lightwood (Matthew Daddario) - whilst blasting pop music until your ears bleed.

#SQUAD

After the opening few minutes, it's a bumpy road for the rest of the episode. The scenes with Clary Fray (Katherine McNamara) and Simon Lewis (Alberto Rosende) are just about watchable, with their casual conversations and Simon hinting that he's in love with Clary. Rosende is probably one of the better actors in the pilot. Even though he's not one of the main characters, he steps up to the plate to take on the slack that the other actors have left.

The acting just doesn't seem to be brilliant. They seem stiff. Now of course, it's the pilot episode and nearly every pilot episode is bumpy and not the best, but the acting shouldn't be bad. It just shouldn't be. The one line that seems to be the worst of all is when Katherine McNamara grabs ahold of a demon (she has no idea) and says "somebody works out. Cool contacts." As a viewer, you're just staring at the screen, mouth agape and just screaming "NO! NO! NO!" It's more of a bad script than anything. There's only so much actors can do with a bad script. But that was just one example where you just want to facepalm at the bad lines and acting. 

The worst of all is the club scene in Pandemonium. Again, pop music blasting and it's too fast-paced, there's too much going on and it's hard to keep up. This seems to be a regular occurrence throughout the episode. Too much happens, we're introduced to too many characters and it ruins it. 

The "oops I accidentally stabbed someone" move

Magnus Bane (Harry Shum Jr) is introduced and so is Valentine Morgernstern (Alan Van Sprang) and it's too early to introduce these characters. It's the pilot episode! The writers need to remember that they aren't doing a movie, they don't have 90 minutes to tell a story. They have 13 episodes. That's pretty much 13 hours. They can take their time, they can have the first story just setting up the first few main characters and then have the second, third and fourth episodes slowly bringing in the extra characters.

Even though most of it is negative, the casting is brilliant. They got it right for the 2013 film and they've got it right for Shadowhunters. I was particularly impressed with the casting for Magnus Bane; Harry Shum Jr is brilliant so far at depicting the character. 

The pilot episode was a fail, even though it raked in a 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.82 million viewers in the U.S alone. Obviously the hype was too much. We'll have to see what the ratings are like for the second episode. 

Hopefully, the show will come back and be brilliant like it should be. The second episode has to be better. It has to be. They tried to cover too much ground in the first episode so let's hope they slow it down for the next couple of episodes.

Jessica Jones S1E6 AKA You're A Winner Review

In this action-packed episode, AKA You're A Winner revolves around the relationship of Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) and Luke Cage (Mike Colter). The whole episode is pretty much the two of them, but before you hate on the episode before even watching, you need to know that this is a magnificent episode.

Luke comes to Jones with a missing person's case that is close to his heart. We are told later on in the episode by Cage that they are looking for Antoine (Dante E. Clark) due to his sister having information about Cage's wife's death. Jessica is torn between helping him and screaming at him that she was the one who killed Reva (Parisa Fitz - Henley).

Malcolm's (Eka Darville) character is becoming more and more loveable. After seeing him go through hell and back whilst being Kilgrave's (David Tennent) spy, his addiction to drugs has worn off and we see his true colours. He feels like he owes everything to Jessica and because he doesn't know who Luke is, Malcolm goes to talk to Luke about Jessica and finally ends up telling Cage about Kilgrave. Malcolm is like an innocent, little boy and to see him fresh-faced and clean was refreshing.

A massive plot twist unveils in this episode. We see Luke find out who he thinks killed his wife and Cage then tries to kill which brings Jessica the courage to suddenly shout "he didn't kill your wife! I did!" The tension within that moment was unbearable as we see Luke stare at Jones with fury in his eyes and say "you were right. You are a piece of shit" after punching a huge dent in the front of the bus - just inches away from Jessica.

We see Kilgrave for only brief moments in this episode where he buys a new house. He persuades the owner of the house to pack up and leave by the end of the next day (without using his mind-control which was surprising). It's not until the very end of the episode that we see that Kilgrave has bought Jessica's childhood home and ever since we saw the room dedicated to photos of Jones. we see how obsessed he is with her.

Trish Walker (Rachael Taylor) and Jones didn't team up in this episode which is a shame because their chemistry is amazing. Overall, this is a brilliant episode. It's not as strong as the previous ones but it still brings the action and a different kind of tension.

New Legends of Tomorrow Poster!

DC's Legends of Tomorrow trailer has shown us that this show is going to be awesome. Bringing characters together from Arrow and The Flash and making them travel back and forth in time to save the day, sounds like something amazing.

Legends of Tomorrow will air on The CW channel in January 2016 and the UK air date will follow.

Supergirl S1E3 Review

After the rocky first episode of Supergirl, the show has proven that it can work. After the first three episode, it doesn't fail to impress.

Yes, we have the cliché villain-of-the-week that superhero shows tend to have, but it works - just like it does with The Flash or Arrow (do we call the show The Green Arrow now?)

Melissa Benoist smashes the role of Kara Danvers/Kara Zor-El/Supergirl and she continues to perform brilliantly, bringing to the screen the many sides of the character.

In this episode, we see the first appearance of Superman. We don't see his face but he's there, saving Supergirl. Was it needed? You begin to think that it wasn't, but Clark Kent being there set the foundations of Kara wanting to be able to save people without her cousin rushing in to save the day.

Contradictory to what she said in the last episode about how she didn't want to be like her cousin? How she didn't want to do it alone? That she wanted to surround herself with her friends and family? Maybe. But it shows how strong she is and how she's willing to prove to the world that she's just as capable as Superman.

The villain-of-the-week was Reactron (Chris Browning). He's known to affiliate himself with the Suicide Squad so is that a crossover that we could see happen? Probably not. He had too small of a role in this episode to have a long-lasting impact on whether he could come back. There's a chance that he will stay away from the show and that we won't see him again.

But Reactron - even when trying to destroy Supergirl (because Superman indirectly killed Reactron's wife) - also laid down the foundations of boosting Supergirl's confidence. She defeats him and after finding out that Clark Kent didn't manage to, it makes her feel like that maybe she can pull off being Supergirl and save the day like her cousin can.

Chyler Leigh yet again brought the brilliant role of Alex Danvers to life. Alex seems to be a very strong, very likeable character. She's strong willed, strong minded and physically strong. She's not scared to stand up to her boss, Hank Henshaw (David Harewood) and she like to take her little sister, Kara under her wing and try and hold her hand through being Supergirl. We could have seen Alex in action a bit more, or train Kara to fight - that scene was awesome in the second episode - or even have a bit more involvement in the episode, but her scenes seem to slip from memory, her scenes in this episode didn't stand out and that's a shame.

Another thing that was good in this episode was that Henshaw's identity wasn't revealed. It would have been too soon if they did, but yet again we saw his eyes glow red for a second which left us keep asking the questions "who and what is he?" Henshaw's character was also under-used the episode, all he was used for was to help Kara with Reactron and to show that he was starting to accept Kara's help with the DEO.

What's with this weird love-triangle going on with Kara, James (Mechad Brooks) and Winn (Jeremy Jordan)? Winn seems like he's just a character to use up the extra screen time. Is there a purpose to his character? Or is he just used to add a relationship/love/friend zone character to the show? He's a good guy, he's a nice character but Winn Schott is known as Toyman in the comics. Toyman is British and has a very dark history of murder and prison and fighting Superman. This can't be the same Winn Schott that we're seeing in the show can it? Somehow, there's a big chance that the writers use the comic book character in the show. Unless Supergirl "friend-zoning" him will turn him evil?

This episode was filled with a bit too much unnecessary romance (also a random dance/flirty scene involving Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) and Maxwell Lord (Peter Facinelli) which wasn't needed) and under-using a couple of characters but in general, it was a very good episode. It worked well using Superman to it's advantage without making the whole episode about him directly and it kept on building the character of Kara into the strong woman the audience knows that she will become.

House, Season One

House, M.D is brilliant. I know nothing about medical science but this show is so captivating that even all of the jargon goes completely over my head. I have watched CSI since I was seven years old and I've watched all of the spin offs: CSI: Miami, CSI: NY... All of them. I wanted to watch a new show that had components of CSI and I have found that show. 

British actor Hugh Laurie portrays the eponymous Dr. Gregory House, one of the best characters to grace my TV screen for a very long time. At first, you think that House is so horrible and so rude that you don't think you'll manage to watch the show. He hates talking to patients because "everyone lies, especially patients", he hates being told what to do by his boss - Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstien) - so he's flat-out rude to her and he often abuses - either physically or verbally - his patients to try and save them. Ironic right? 

This brilliant character was introduced to us by Brian Singer and David Shore and God bless them. You what else is magical about this show? The script. Every episode includes many sarcastic comments. One that really stands out to me is in episode five "Damned If You Do". House is talking to a Nun who says "Sister Augustine believes in things that aren't real", in which House retorts "I thought that was a job requirement for you people?" He's constantly commenting on Cuddy's work outfits and making jokes about her cleavage and breasts, making racist statements against Eric Foreman (Omar Epps) and making Allison Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) feel inferior because she's female. Even though all of these things are subjects that we'd completely look upon as morally wrong, the writers and Laurie do it in a sense where it's quite comical and you let it slide. 

Working alongside House are his three loyal followers: an ex-con-turned-neurologist, Eric Foreman, an Aussie-turned-backstabber, Robert Chase (Jesse Spencer) and a woman who just wants to be taken seriously, Allison Cameron House's one (and only) friend, James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) is an oncologist that accompanies the four on their quests to save lives and sometimes tries - but rarely succeeds - to stop House from making stupid decisions.

When the network threatened to cut House six episodes from the original twenty two unless a higher power was introduced, David Shore came up with the idea of Vogler. He was introduced in episode fourteen and Vogler becomes the new board chair for the hospital and also becomes an ongoing problem for House. Vogler was a nice change; you saw House's methods being questioned and broken down by Vogler, yet you also saw Cuddy slowly change her opinion on House. You see, from episode one it's obvious that Cuddy and House have this unspoken-of chemistry that's based on more hate than love (you know what they say...There's a thin line between love and hate). As Vogler starts to introduce more and more terrible ideas just to make more money and starts to threaten to fire House and Cuddy - and actually does fire Wilson - Lisa Cuddy becomes sympathetic towards House and gets Vogler to leave. He was a good change of scenery, but an absolutely vile person.

Each and every one of the episodes have the same formulaic set-up: we see something bad happening to a certain individual, some cool CGI effects of what's happening in the body of said person, House realises that what's happening to the patient is like a puzzle and the game is on to find out what is wrong with them. Normally, what happens is halfway through the episode, House and his team think that they have solved the case and the patient is going to be completely fine. However, something terrible then happens to the patient and they're on the verge of dying, so House has to race against the clock to cure the patient. Even though, it's the same set-up for each episode all the way through the series, it works. It works really well. You forget that it's samey because the script is brilliant and the acting is done really well.

Some episodes are very dramatic and some are even very emotional. I myself, find myself tearing up whenever motherhood or babies are involved and that was exactly the case for House. In episode four - "Maternity" - House overhears about a sick baby and tries to prevent a disease that has taken over the maternity ward before it reaches an epidemic. Two of the babies' kidneys shut down and House has to experiment to see which medicine isn't working - which results in one of the babies dying and the other one living. As you can imagine, I was in pieces. There is also episode eighteen, "Babies & Bathwater" where a husband has to choose between the lives of his wife or his unborn child. These are only two of the episodes that keep you hooked and praying that everything is going to turn out okay. The drama of this show is pure brilliance and the writers have created the perfect balance between drama and comedy which is one of the key reasons why this show is amazing.

Dr. Gregory House is so much alike Sherlock Holmes. Both characters think they are never wrong and can deduce a problem by a mere look or a sniff. They both have to answer to people higher than them but never listen to that higher power - for House, its Dr. Lisa Cuddy and then Edward Vogler from episode fourteen to nineteen and Sherlock Holmes it's Lestrade and Scotland Yard - House also finds his Moriarty in Vogler as House has to find ways to beat him. Later on the show, you realise that House lives at 221B, the same number that Sherlock and Watson live at; Watson is also portrayed as Wilson (not much of a name change) who acts as House's side-kick and House's conscience, very much like how Watson has to act as Sherlock's conscience in times of desperation. Both House and Sherlock have had/have drug related problems. Holmes used cocaine and morphine to escape from the "dull routine of existence" and House is constantly popping Vicodin as a painkiller for his leg. Both characters also have very interesting love interests; Sela Ward plays the ex-girlfriend of House (Stacy Warner) and acts as Holmes' Irene Adler. I'm a massive Sherlock Holmes fan and to see the huge similarities between House and Holmes makes me love this show even more.

Sela Ward was a brilliant addition to the cast of season one and she contents to appear in House in season two. Her presence around House brings out this completely different side of him; he's softer and listens to her because he's still in love with her. I think that Stacy is the only person that could stand to live and be in love with House for five years and carry on being civil with him after they've broken up. She's a tough character and sometimes gives House a run for his money because she has such a strong personality. Ward is a brilliant actor and the on screen chemistry between Ward and Laurie is utterly brilliant.

House is fantastic; I'm already half way through season two and I have no intention of slowing down. This is a show to binge-watch. This is a show that I can't imagine anyone not liking. This is a show that proves that TV can be absolutely brilliant. The acting, the script, the chemistry, the characters - everything that you need to have a great TV show, House M.D has. 

Gotham, Season One

[SPOILERS ALERT!]


There's a lot right with Gotham, but there's also a lot wrong with it. A lot of things that don't work well and a lot of things that work brilliantly. It's normal for a first season to be a bit shaky, to take time to figure out what kind of tv show it wants to be (just look at Marvel's Agents of Shield) but Gotham seems to be inconsistent sometimes. There were episodes that were really good - the episodes where the Ogre/Jason Lennon (Milo Ventimiglia) was involved - and there were some not so good episodes, especially "The Blind Fortune Teller", where the rumoured Joker - Jerome (Cameron Monaghan) was presented to us.

I'll start off with the negatives. The show didn't need episodes such as "The Balloonman" or "Viper"; the writers seemed to be creating unnecessary villains when focus could have been pulled tighter on Ed Nygma (Cory Michael Smith). The show took episodes 20-22 to let us see Nygma unravel and lose his mind. One moment, Nygma is crushing on Kristen Kringle (Chelsea Spack) and the next, he's killing Kringle's boyfriend and starting to become the character we all know and love - the Riddler. His change seemed rushed. It seemed like the writers of those three episodes - John Stephens, Jordan Harper and Bruno Heller - realised that they needed to create more of a story for Nygma and actually give Smith some better opportunities to show off his incredible acting.

Barbara Kean (Erin Richards) also seemed like a bit of a useless character until the writers decided to use the extra six episodes the network gave them to do something with her. In episode 20, the Ogre kidnaps Barbara and slowly breaks her emotionally until there's nothing left of her, which also gives Richards - like Cory Michael Smith - the opportunity to do some character development and do something other than stand there and look pretty, whilst going through a bi-sexual story arc which was dropped as soon as it was portrayed.

Is Gotham a child-friendly show, or does it want to be darker? I don't know. And I don't think Bruno Heller (who developed the series) knows either. The darkness that people know and love about Gotham is shown very sporadically, either due to Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor) shooting someone and seeing blood spray everywhere or to the part where Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith) scoops out her own eye, lets it drop to the floor and then stomps on it. There's also the scenes where Gotham tries to be like comic books and features the highly dramatic actions that shouldn't be in the show. For example, when Fish is flung over the edge of the roof by Cobblepot and dies (maybe?), Cobblepot stands on the edge and screams "I'm the king of Gotham" whilst laughing manically and the character of Cobblepot's mother - Gertrude Kapulput (Carol Kane) - who's character is on the borderline of annoying because she's so cartoony.

Let's talk about the finale for a sec. Selina Kyle (Camren Bicondova)...Why is she now working with Fish and being loyal to someone other than herself? It doesn't make sense. And what about Fish coming back to Gotham? The writers either should have kept Mooney in the hospital with Dr. Francis Dulmacher/The Dollmaker (Colm Feore), or not shown The Dollmaker story arc at all and just shown Mooney coming back to Gotham.

There are too many small villains in this show and it makes it too busy and too messy. This show would be brilliant if it just concentrated and a few big villains throughout the season. What they did with Gerald and Jonathan Crane (Julian Sands and Charlie Tahan) was brilliant, because they focused on one of the big villains and made two very good episodes out of it and created the foundations for the character of Scarecrow. Again, what they did with Jason Lennon/The Ogre was fantastic. Focusing on one villain and making three brilliant episodes out of it. By dwindling the amount of villains means the writer would have had the opportunities to focus on Nygma and Harvey Dent (Nicholas D'Agosto) - who's character I think needed more building upon as well. Dent could have made a bigger supporting role than what he was.

However, there are also so many positives. One of the first things that I picked up on when I started watching the show is the casting. The casting is perfect, so a big thumbs up to the casting crew. Each actor and actress just slides into the roles that they were given so smoothly and conveys each specific character at its best. Child actor, David Mazouz, who plays a young Bruce Wayne, is exceptional and Seann Pertwee! I don't think I've ever seen a better Alfred. (Sorry Michael Caine!) Pertwee brings Alfred alive with his dry, British humour and his somewhat funny "yes, Master Bruce" and "anything for you, Master Bruce". James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Harvey Bullock's (Donal Logue) chemistry on screen was also fantastic, with it's witty comebacks from Bullock, it was an intriguing partnership between the two. It was a bit slow for Nygma to make his dramatic entrance as the Riddler, but when he finally got up to that point, when we finally saw his losing his mind and becoming the character that we identify as the Riddler, it was some of the best acting that I had seen on the show. The way that Cory Michael Smith portrays the Riddler is mind-blowing. He's gotten every characteristic of Nygma spot on.

Even though the story line of Bruce investigating his parents' death was slow at first, it begins to pick up a nice pace just after the mid season finale. And the ending where Alfred and Bruce find his fathers - Thomas Wayne's - bat cave?, it gave me chills and it was an awesome ending to the series. As we can see from the season two promos, we get to see more of Thomas' hiding place and maybe find out if this is where Bruce builds the foundations of his Batcave?

I mentioned earlier that there was a great character development for Barbara after episode 20, and it's true. Seeing her develop from this fumbling character of a pretty woman standing in a corner doing nothing, to wielding a knife and killing her parents and going psycho on Dr. Leslie Thompkins (Morena Baccarat); those scenes did wonders for Barbara's character. Hopefully, we see the writers in season two extend on Barbara's mental breakdown, because I think it would be interesting to see which kind of character she turns in to. Or whom she turns in to? Harley Quinn maybe?

The mafia world in Gotham is another thing that I absolutely love about this show. The city of Carmine Falcone (John Doman) and Sal Maroni (David Mayas) was fascinating and made a very good diversion away from the soon-to-be super villains. With Penguin creating a full-scale war between the two mobsters, and Maroni launching a massive attack on Falcone in the finale, it was almost like a breath of fresh air. Of course, it was quite abrupt when Falcone decided to retire from being a mobster and when Maroni got shot in the head by Mooney for calling her "babes" one to many times, but I love the whole world of crime within the show. It went hand-in-hand with the whole "prequel to Batman" theme.

Sure, the road throughout the first season of Gotham has been rocky, but hopefully the writers will find their feet for season two; which has already been renewed and Netflix have already stolen the rights. This show is definitely a must-see for anyone and whilst there are better superhero tv shows out there, I feel like this binge-worthy show has my immediate attention for when season two approaches.

Season two will air 21st September 2015

Pretty Little LiArs, Season 6A

[SPOILERS ALERT!]

Ever since I watched the season six finale of Pretty Little Liars on Wednesday 12th August, I have wanted to write an article about it. About the whole of season six. The reason it has took me a a while is because I didn't know - and part of me is still bemused - how I feel about it.

I was a bit late jumping on the PLL bandwagon; I started watching it at Christmas last year and ever since then, have watched it religiously. I had my own theories and my boyfriend (who I watched it with) would discuss them at great lengths. For those of you who also read all of the fan theories, I agreed with the whole 'Wren is A' one. It made sense. My theory was Wren Kingston (Julian Morris) was A, CeCe Drake (Vanessa Ray) was Redcoat and Melissa Hastings (Torrey DeVitto) was Black Veil (since I thought Melissa and Wren had to be working together).

I couldn't have been more wrong.

On the night of the finale in the U.S, I didn't go on social media at all. Not until 6 o clock the next day when I watched it. Twitter had already ruined it for me slightly when I got an update come through on my phone saying 'so-and-so and three more people are tweeting about #Aisagirl'. I should've deleted all my social media apps. I forgot Twitter sent updates. Silly me. Part of me didn't want to watch the episode after that; my opinion of the episode had already been tainted without me even watching it. But I had to. If A was a girl, I wanted to find out who, and who the hell Charles was.

The whole of season six had felt quite slow to me; all of the episodes seemed to be filler ones - just building up to the penultimate episode, 'Last Dance, and the finale 'Game Over, Charles'. The finale pretty much picked off where 'Last Dance' ended, at the school prom where Alison (Sasha Pieterse)  had just been abducted by A and A had revealed themselves to Ali. It's a man-hunt for the rest of 'the Liars' who include a art student - who is now obsessed by dolls thank to A - Aria Montgomery (Lucy Hale), a was-supposed-to-be-a-valedictorian, Spencer Hastings (Troian Bellisario), Emily Fields (Shay Mitchell), who seems to have a crush on nearly every girl in the show, Hanna Marin (Ashley Benson) who is super smart and amazing and keeps us all entertained with her hilarious one-liners and Mona Vanderwaal (Janel Parrish), the first A who completely messed with the girls - up until season two - yet I absolutely adore her.

Whilst the Liars are in A's lair, Mona finds a link to a camera where A is with Alison and the five girls listen on (obviously with A knowing) as A tells their story to Ali.

(from left to right: Aria Montgomery (Lucy Hale) , Spencer Hastings (Troian Bellisario), Mona Vanderwaal (Janel Parrish), Emily Fields (Shay Mitchell) and Hanna Merin (Ashley Benson)

"Mona played with dolls, I play with body parts. Game on, bitches! -A"

CeCe Drake (Vanessa Ray) as 'A'

So it was revealed to us that Charles DiLaurentis a.k.a Charlotte DiLaurentis a.k.a CeCe Drake was A.  The reasoning for her being A was brilliant: she was Charles DiLaurentis, Ali's and Jason's (Drew Van Acker) brother who had always felt like he was born to be a girl, to be Charlotte. Jessica DiLaurentis (Andrea Parker) knew this and started to buy dresses for Charles but Kenneth DiLaurentis (Jim Abele) disagreed with the whole notion.

It's been said that Charlotte isn't the big bad wolf of the show, it's Kenneth. It's been his actions against Charlotte when she was younger that turned her into the person that wanted to torture and manipulate people. However, the reason for CeCe taking out all of this anger on 'the Liars' is weak. She explains to Ali that she was really good at playing the Big A game and it was like a drug to her, she loved the adrenaline. She returned to Rosewood to befriend to Liars and find out more about them, but when she found out that the Liars weren't exactly upset that Ali had disappeared, CeCe was infuriated - at the end of the day, Alison was her sister - and began to torture the Liars.

When the Liars went to New York, they thought that they had killed A, so CeCe left the country thinking that the A game was in the past. But the adrenaline started to kick in again and she started to crave the game once more, so she returned to Rosewood to try and finish what she started. According to CeCe, she only really got angry when "Ali didn't listen to [her]" and that's apparently the reason why she did any of the dangerous things like drive a car into Emily's house, or try and freeze Emily and Spencer, or poisoning Aria. She did it all to get Alison's attention. Hence the reason she tried to (almost) kill the Liars. She had seen someone wandering round in a redcoat and thought it was Alison and suspected that Alison was alive, so by starting the barn fire, she knew that Ali would come to the rescue and save the girls.

Confused yet?

CeCe then hired her own Redcoat as a decoy - who turned out to be Sara Harvey (Dre Davis) and also a very boring character and was also revealed as Black Veil. I don't understand why Harvey had to be given two of the most mysterious roles in the show. How did she meet CeCe so they could start working together? What about the two and a half years she was 'in the dollhouse?' Did CeCe really kidnap her?

A text that 'A' (now known as CeCe) sent the Liars of her Mother (Jessica DiLaurentis) buried

This is just one of the plot holes that I have picked up on after watching the finale. CeCe comes home back to the DiLaurentis house and finds her Mother dead in the back garden. She goes into a state, crying and holding her Mom in the most loving way possible. The audience feels her loss. So why, when she's so worked up about finding her dead Mother, would she send this photo to the Liars? It doesn't make sense. Like I said, that's just one of the plot holes.

I am not disappointed about CeCe being 'A', I am not disappointed in the transgender plot. I thought it was brilliant. Vanessa Ray's acting was profound but the finale was rushed and it was messy. CeCe's reasoning for being A is brilliant and moving. I'm not utterly disappointed about the finale; it had suspense, action and tearful emotion, I'm just disappointed about the amount of plot holes and about the amount of unanswered questions like, 'who killed Jessica DiLaurentis?', 'what about those tombstones that Caleb saw in Ravenswood when they had his and Miranda's faces on?', 'ARE THE LIARS MOMS STILL STUCK IN THE DILAURENTIS BASEMENT?!' and 'are Jason and Kenneth DiLaurentis ok?' See? There' still a lot of unanswered questions that the writers seem to have forgotten about.

Hopefully, these questions will be answered in the upcoming episodes in the winter. Even after a slow season six and a finale full of suspense and most questions finally answered, the ending left the audience sitting on the edge of the sofa and waiting for January to come so we can find out who the Liars are referring to when they "he's coming". So all of us who are hardcore PLL fans, we have more wonderfully intense episodes to fill our screens.
